Abstract
A study has been made of the viscosity characteristics of the blood of a wide variety of mammals, and of related factors, ie haematocrit, plasma viscosity, plasma fibrinogen and MCV. Good correlations have been found between blood viscosity and both haematocrit and plasma viscosity across the various species studied. No such correlations were found with fibrinogen level or MCV.
